Do you need a fun activity over the holiday break for idle kids? Holidays are filled with cookies, wonder, and opportunities for creativity. But go beyond the average looking snow cutout, and try this fun shaped paper snowflake instead. Kids will be delighted when they see how easy and fun it is to create a snowflake in the shape of our favorite Puppet-on-a-Stick characters!Step by step:Download print friendly instructions here.(1) Print out the PDF and cut out the square template. Click here for template.(2) Prefold all of the solid lines(3) Fold the template in half and then fold it in half again. Next, fold along the diagonal edge, making sure to keep the puppet shape exposed…now you’re ready to cut!(4) Cut out the puppet shapes…the grey portion is the part that is discarded.(5) One of the puppets requires a hobby knife to cut out the mouth. If you don’t have one, you can just draw and color in the mouths later.(6) Unfold your creation carefully.(7) Put on the finishing touches by drawing in the eyes of the puppets (and the mouths if you didn’t cut them out in the previous step). You’re done! Tape the snowflake to your window, your notebook, etc. Enjoy!
Cut a hole in the top of your box using a utility knife or scissors, big enough to fit your average candy grams (help your kids with this and be careful!).
Using your construction paper (save some for the DIY heart chain!), markers, and art supplies, decorate the box to your heart’s content! Make sure it has your kid’s name on it.
Time for the heart chain! Accordian fold your construction paper, then trace a heart on one side of the fold. You can trace a half heart against one of the edges of the fold OR a full heart. If doing the full heart, make sure each side of the heart bleeds off the page (this is where the heart chain will connect). Watch the video for visual instructions.
Now, cut along the lines you just drew so you cut through each layer of the folded paper. Make sure not to cut the folds themselves, where the heart will connect
Unfold your heart to reveal your heart chain! Now you can glue or tape it to your box as an extra-cool decoration.
Once your box is looking festive and snazzy, it’s ready to receive some Valentine grams! If you’re looking for a sugar-free Valentine’s treat for your kid’s classroom party, try Valentine's Day Playfoam & Sticker 20-Pack! Each pod contains sensory-stimulating Playfoam in festive shapes and colors and come with “To” and “From” stickers for easy classroom gifting.
